Fresh from a stunning third place finish in the last round of the Avon Tyres British GT Championship at Donington Park, Neil Cunningham is heading for Le Mans𒉰 after securing a late call-up to the Barazi-Epsilon team.

The experienced racer will partner Michael Vergers and Juan Barazi in the LMP2 class Courage C65 after Embassy R🦋acing team boss Jonathan France - who Cunningham has driven for for the past two seasons and is now acting as the Kiwis manager - concluded a deal to allow him to compete in the famous race at La Sarthe for the second time.

"I've landed a good drive at Le Mans in an LMP2 car with Michael Vergers," Cunningham told mahbx.com Radio. "It was very much a last minute deal with the team, m꧟y manager Jonathan France put it together on Su🐻nday night so I'm now on my way to France for testing this weekend.

"Jonathan really did surprise me with this deal. Le Mans is something I enjoyed doing the last time that I did it and I've done the Spa 2💫4 Hours a few times as well and this is the kind of🐎 racing I enjoy - the long distance stuff.

"It's the first time I'll have driven an open-top sportscar for a few years although I did launch the Radical SR3 in Florida years ago and that was the last time I raced an🧸 open-top sports car. I'm pretty confident, as all racing drivers are, that we can get a good result.💫"
